ISSUE Research has often stressed the significance of reducing door movement during surgery for preventing surgical site infections. This study investigated the possible effect of a lean A3 intervention on the reduction of door movement during surgery in a university medical center in the Netherlands. INITIAL ASSESSMENT A digital counter recorded door movement during 8009 surgical procedures ...

The door-to-needle time is an important goal to reduce the time to treatment in intravenous thrombolysis. Objective Analyze if the inclusion of an exclusive thrombolytic bed reduces the door-to-needle time. Method One hundred and fifty patients admitted for neurological evaluation with ischemic stroke were separated in two groups: in the first, patients were admitted in the Emergency Room for i...

Ma’am, we need a decision,” Lucy stuttered, afraid to look at her boss. “Give me ve minutes,” Nadya Winters replied calmly. As CEO of DJO Associates, Winters was used to such rapid decisions. The rm specialized in up-to-the-second and out-of-the-box nancial analysis for the growing horde of AI-powered investment rms. Winters strode toward her personal conference room—“The Chamber”— where she we...

Medical linear accelerators are one of the most widespread methods for cancer treatment. Despite their advantages, unwanted photoneutrons are produced by high energy linacs. This photoneutrons are as undesired doses to patients and a significant problem for radiation protection of the staffs and patients. Photoneutrons radiological risk must be evaluated because of their high LET and range.in o...

There is a wide range in the reported photon tenth value distance (TVD) in the maze of high-energy linear accelerator vaults. In order to gain insight into the appropriate use of the TVD value during door design, we performed measurements of the photon dose in the maze of four vaults. In addition, our study represents the first to describe a scenario where an inner borated polyethylene (BPE) do...

Door is a very significant element as it enables person to enter house or room. Though identifying doorway an easy task for regular person, robots visually impaired people challenging task. To overcome this challenge, we have proposed door detection method. Our method based on Prewitt edge and Harris corner detector. Here, are using number of predefined rules detect the doorframe correctly. est...

background: in the steel industry, coke-fueled furnaces are used for smelting iron ore to produce cast iron are considered as sources of annoying noise.this study aims to evaluate the noise pollution blast furnace and sound source characteristics in order to present noise control measures in the steel industry. methods: measurement of noise level and its frequency analysis was performed using s...

The number of public displays is rapidly increasing due to their decreasing prices and the advantages of their dynamic behavior. If the displayed content depends on aspects like the time or the location, these displays are called situated displays. This paper discusses two fields of application for situated displays. One field of application is the displaying of information about a room in comb...

A man walks into a men’s room and observes n empty urinals. Which urinal should he pick so as to maximize his chances of maintaining privacy, i.e., minimize the chance that someone will occupy a urinal beside him? In this paper, we attempt to answer this question under a variety of models for standard men’s room behavior. Our results suggest that for the most part one should probably choose the...

heater. This system is adequate for rooms with a capacity of up to about 16 m3 and for temperatures of up to 40°C. Temperature recording is by a Cambridge recorder which is mounted externally and, over a period of over one year since the installation of the hot room, the internal temperature has remained constantly at the set temperature (37°C). Local temperature variations within the hot room ...
